Introduction to stickers, shapes, and icons

PosterMyWall provides an easy way of adding stickers, shapes, and icons all from one place. This can be done without opening another tab or window, and without having to browse another site. 

Adding stickers

  • Type your search term in the search box to get the type of stickers you are looking for. For example, if you search for ‘Christmas’ and then click on ‘Stickers’ you will get still and animated stickers related to Christmas. Double-clicking any sticker will add it to your design.

PosterMyWall’s editor offers stickers from free sources and Getty Images. You can filter the results to look at animated and non-animated stickers, as well as premium (Getty) and free stock graphics. 

Free basic users will have to pay an additional two dollars for downloading designs with stickers from Getty Images, otherwise, a large watermark is added to the downloaded design.

Downloads with GettyImages are free on the Premium subscription plans
